7 Arranged Roses [Filtered from Schuldig]

[minesprettier]

[Chloe sits in a flower shop people have likely seen before. A pair of crutches rest near him, but there's no visible reason for them -- he's deliberately only showing himself from te waist up. Arrangements of colorful flowers cover the table next to him as well as the counter behind him. He adjusts a pair of deep blue wire-rimmed glasses when they slide down his nose and looks down at a piece of paper under his right hand for a moment.]

Many people here from a version of Earth are likely aware that Valentine's Day is in a week. For those unaware, it's a holiday focused on giving gifts to those you care for romantically. It can also be a day to confess your feelings if you've been hiding them. Different countries handle it differently, but that's the basics of it. One traditional gift is flower arrangements such as the ones you can see around me. If there's someone willing to serve as a taxi, we'd be open to delivering arrangements to other worlds assuming some payment can be worked out. And by "we", I mean my coworkers who also have community access. I broke my leg thanks to an icy sidewalk and I'm in no condition to do anything other than make the arrangements.

If your world has flowers with special meanings or that you consider to be beautiful, it shouldn't be hard to work those in as well, as long as we're provided them from the beginning of your request.

[He looks at the paper again for a moment before Chloe's attention returns to the computer.]

Other holidays in other worlds would be an interesting challenge for me to work with if you'd like flowers for them at any point. I enjoy beauty and I believe I can find it even in customs that aren't familiar to me. In addition, the one in charge of our finances would appreciate every bit of additional income even though we're hardly struggling.

[Chloe's certain that Ken and Aya won't be pleased with him volunteering them for this, but they can talk it over in person and learn his reasons for it. But it seems like he's said all he wants to now, so he takes his reading glasses off, grabs his crutches, hops towards the camera, and turns it off.]

.....

Did you just volunteer us?

[minesprettier]

I assume that given recent events, you two might enjoy a chance to have as much privacy as possible.

[redlikecrimson]

So you volunteered us.

[minesprettier]

Who else would I volunteer?

[redlikecrimson]

When did you come up with this idea?

[sky_protector]

Are there flowers that you can give to friends?

[He has no idea how this works.]

[minesprettier]

There are. It may be best if they're given to a friend who won't assume you have a romantic interest in them, but something can certainly be put together that conveys friendship as a meaning rather than romance.

[sky_protector]

Someone might misunderstand?

[minesprettier]

There's always a chance of it where people are concerned.

[wasabloodknight]

... wait. You're sending us on worldhop deliveries?

I hate deliveries.

[minesprettier]

But you like vacations and having time alone with Aya.

[wasabloodknight]

... yeah, but this would be work.

[minesprettier]

Only a little bit of it. And it's not as if I can deliver until my leg's recovered.

[makewayforroze]

Do a lot of people give flowers for Valentine's Day?

[minesprettier]

A lot of people in this part of the world do. It's seen as traditional.

[makewayforroze]

It sounds like a very lovely holiday.

[minesprettier]

It's one of my favorite.

[thunder_empress]

Flower arrangements...that sounds like a good idea!

[minesprettier]

I'm glad you like it. If you'd be interested in anything, I can make one. I'm simply looking for someone willing to take my coworkers to different worlds.

[thunder_empress]

Well...actually, I enjoy flower arranging myself...but I am looking for very specific flowers and I'm not sure if I'll find them where I live.

[minesprettier]

And what are you looking for, Miss-?

[Video] Mind some back-tagging?

[material_guy]

Ooooi. Any chance I can get someone to deliver one long stem rose to someone off-world?

I can pay in Cenz, Yen, Dollars, or booze.

[Video] Back-tagging is always good, even when I'm working on an app

[minesprettier]

That shouldn't be much trouble. Paying in dollars will get the best conversion rate, I think.

[He hasn't talked to you before, but Chloe's seen you around in other posts, so forgive the wary tone.]

[Video] In for a busy weekend, are we?

[material_guy]

Ten dollars American good?

[Video]

[minesprettier]

That should be fine. Where does it need to go?

[OOC: Nah, it was mostly copypasta from old apps.]
